Pete's Place — Guest Reviews

Beautiful house with woods right behind , we loved this spot for a long weekend with family to see SWMI

Beach getaway The house was very nice, clean and comfortable. Kids loved their own space and the bonus room! The outside could use some upkeep.

Sawyer getaway My husband, 3 adult daughters, and I (along with our dogs) stayed here for a week. We took the dogs to Warren Dunes (just minutes away on Red Arrow Highway) and also enjoyed beautiful Cherry Beach nearby. We spent time in New Buffalo, St. Joseph, and Three Oaks. The house was so clean and comfortable with anything we could have needed, from an abundance of bath and beach towels to a nicely stocked kitchen. Beds were very comfortable and separate office area and 3 season room were a bonus as a few in our party had to work a few days during our stay. Even though it was quite hot during our trip, we also enjoyed the hot tub on a few evenings! The only suggestion I have is to clean up the patio area by getting rid of the patio rug and perhaps invest in 2 new chaise lounges. Those items were quite dirty. The house is surrounded by trees and other foliage, so I can see how the elements really take a toll on outside furniture. Overall, I give this house 5 stars!

Great place to stay We loved this house for a week stay. Conveniently located to so many great places - New Buffalo, St Joe’s, the Dunnes. The indoor and outdoor space was great to spend time in. All of the beds were very cozy as well. One thing to note is this is listed as a 4 bedroom but one of those bedrooms is captive so you can only get to it by going through another bedroom. It worked out for us with a toddler, but depending on who you’re staying with, that could be an issue. Also the property management company responded to my text within one minute when I needed something. I would definitely recommend this house.

The Perfect Getaway My husband and I spent a long weekend at Pete’s Place to celebrate our anniversary. The home was beautiful, comfy, and pristine. I was impressed with the attention to detail, both in terms of design and quality choices. The beds, bedding, and towels were all high quality and very comfortable. The way the house is sited, you could barely tell there were neighbors. We spent a decent amount of time out back in the hot tub and it was peaceful and felt very private. The location is super convenient, as well, making it easy to explore the surrounding communities. We would definitely stay here again!

Ladies getaway I can't tell you how much we loved this house! Just a beautiful place, very clean, quick to respond to questions, thoughtful amenities. We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Thank you so much!

Great Getaway! House was clean and welcoming. Nicely furnished - many towels (bath and hot tub). The back patio was nice as well as the hot tub. Nice treed lot with some privacy. Yes there were leaves - We just swept them off. It did take some getting used to the traffic noise. First time to the area. It was fun to explore new restaurants and hiking. Favorite hiking spot was Chikaming Twp Park and Preserve. Yes I would recommend the home to others!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The home was very nice and had plenty of space for our family and kids to spread out, relax, and enjoy our time together. It was good for our dog too. The location is fantastic and close to the beach, ice cream, restaurants, distilleries, and all the other goodness Southwest Michigan has to offer. We especially loved the hot tub and enjoyed having the ping pong table for some extra family fun. There isn’t a lot of yard space, but the surrounding woods were great. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely consider staying here again!

We loved staying at Pete’s place. The hosts were extremely proactive and communicative. We had some minor issues with the TV, and a lack of warm water in the shower, and they instantly resolved the problem and responded to me when I reached out. There was an issue with the fridge not working and they also compensated us with a discount. The home was beautiful, in an excellent location and had everything you’d need.

Great house! So many wonderful amenities! Beds, bathrooms, linens, outdoor space great! Only complaints were silverware was sparse, and hot tub was in need of chemicals. But tech came as promised and rectified in time for our last nite. Host was responsive and we would def recommend and stay again!!!Terry and Tom Malone

The house was just as listed, private, cozy, and in a great location near downtown Sawyer and just a short drive from Three Oaks.Overall, we had a great stay. The only issue we experienced was with the hot water. It wouldn’t stay hot for very long, so we had to stagger baths and showers. After about 10–15 minutes, the water would turn cool/lukewarm and then take another 20–30 minutes to heat back up.Aside from that, everything was as expected and we enjoyed our stay.

I stayed 4 nights with my parents (in their 60s), my middle schooler, and my 1 year old dog. The last few years we’ve stayed at a hotel in St. Joseph but we couldn’t this year as we had our dog with us (and Silver beach doesn’t allow dogs in the sand/water) so we had to switch it up. House is very pet and kid friendly with miscellaneous items provided (crayons and toys, dog leash with bags). Host was super responsive throughout the entire process. Kitchen is stocked with basics; we bought and left a glass measuring cup as there wasn’t one. Wi-fi signal was great even with multiple devices on it. Beds were comfortable with enough storage for clothes. I vaguely remember another review mentioning the road was close- it was but nothing super detrimental. There is also a train nearby but honestly we were so tired every night it didn’t bother any of us but I guess if you’ve got light sleepers in your group it is something to consider.Bummed we didn’t get to sign the guest book but overall super happy with our stay. Warren Dunes is 10 minutes away with a very clean and easily accessible dog beach.

Excellent in every way. Hope to stay there next year.

Beautiful property and very nice place to stay, no issues and everyone enjoyed their time there. The host however.... Thinks AI is an actual option and does extremely odd things for payments and check in. To the point I contacted vrbo directly and got in writing that I was protected if I was scammed. Wanting copies of identification multiple times, payments outside of the VRBO system made me extremely nervous. Whatever it's worked out so far but just be prepared.

Comfortable house for our group of five adults and one dog. One person in our group had to work from home a few days and was able to do so easily on the 3 season porch. Kitchen was well appointed. Hot tub was clean and hot! The house is set back from the road, so we didn’t hear car noise. The Red Arrow bike path is easily accessible; we took care crossing 3 Oaks Road and Red Arrow Highway and were able to ride the 20 mile round trip from the house to New Buffalo and back.

The inside of the house had a nice layout, comfortable mattresses and was clean. The kitchen was lacking some basics. It only had 4 dinner forks and a single 1/3 cup for any measuring. The cracked granite on the kitchen counter was an eyesore and uncleanly. We were very disappointed in the outside areas of the property. They had obviously not been cleaned up from winter and made welcoming. I swept up dead leaves, sticks and debris from the patio and patio furniture so we could use it. The property is very wooded and pretty but having piles of wet leaves, weeds and debris contributed to a mosquito haven.

Very nice place to stay, quiet and great patio in the back. Close to several beaches.

Great place, peaceful and comfortable.

Great cabin tucked away in the woods. Markets nearby for anything you might need. Close to the dunes and highway.

Beautiful home. Great communication with the host.

Great place! Really nicely appointed house in a great location!

Weekend in Three Oaks Excellent stay in Three Oaks! The home was in a great location. Close to some nice restaurants. The best of the bunch was the dinner at Granor Farms.The home was easy to find. It is on a some what busy road but the way the home sits on the property makes it feel quiet and private.

Awesome Awesome getaway! We agreed we'd go back. Great ambiance. Super clean!! Nice little welcome goodies. Comfy beds. Was exactly as listed.

Very nice house The house was beautifully kept with a nice backyard and hot tub. I furnishings were comfortable and updated. The bathroom and beds were great too. I would suggest checking the stove for better accuracy and a few more pans.

Above Expectations EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. PEACE AND QUIET AS WELL AS REMARKABLY COMFORTABLE. THIS HOME WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. THE STAY WAS SO AWESOME AND AMAZING!!! DEFINITELY 20 STARS OUT OF 10!!!! WE REALLY JUST RELAXED AND ENJOYED. THE EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT AND THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL AND HAD SIMPLE INFORMATION TO MAKE IT VERY EASY!!!

Lovely property. Great location This was a wonderful property for our extended weekend. Close enough to the beach/shopping without feeling crowded. The grounds were nicely maintained and private and the house was a gem. We took advantage of all the rooms and never felt too crowded.
